Haunted Brambles Halloween Lantern (#5)

The Pumpkin Patch (Bindlegrim Lantern released 6-2012):Who or what creeps restlessly through the brambles of the
pumpkin patch at midnight...? Take a peek through an autumnal sky tinged in orange, red, or yellow.

Bindlegrim returns to the studio - and though the
bindle-by-bindle move may not have brought all the usual supplies - it has lent itself to experimentation through discovery of the materials on hand. In this case, a new lantern with an offering of six total created in pairs of orange, yellow, and red.

This newest limited edition was created with silhouettes of vine and leaf motifs merging together with the leaf and Jack O'Lantern design of the black frame. There are 12 separate panes with an overall scene that takes you deep among the brambles of the pumpkin patch, encountering celestial
entities, plentiful mice, a bevy of bats, a black widow, a prowling cat, a witch, a
skeleton, and of course a few pumpkins characters such as a jol-headed scrarecrow, and a JOL-headed ghost. And in the middle of
all this one very scared little cottage!

Note about construction: The
frame is created with acid-free museum board. The pieces were Made in
the USA and hand assembled by the artist. Each work is packaged in a
cellophane bag and also labeled with its number in the edition. The images are laser-prints on vellum for durability. A
3 watt flicker bulb is recommended - and it should be noted a white
bulb might be best on these to keep the color hue of the paper most
accurately. Small
holes in the top piece are present for hanging the lantern with soft
wire or strong thread if you prefer a battery operated candle.
